Does a king bed fit in a 12x12 room?

Yes. A king bed (76x80 in) fits a 12x12 room with room for nightstands and a dresser, keeping roughly 2 ft of walking clearance on each used side. It is the smallest room size where a king feels comfortable.

How much space do you need to walk around a bed?

Aim for at least 24 in of clearance on each side you use, and 30 in is more comfortable. A 12x12 room gives a king bed that clearance, while a 10x10 room often forces one side against a wall.
